"The Journalism Value Report explores the various facets of Europe’s public interest journalism, revealing significant heterogeneity throughout the sector when it comes to business models, funding mechanisms, and its relationship with the audience. Our findings from 174 participating newsrooms from 31 countries, also available as an online map (journalismvalueproject.eu/survey), portray a complex, diverse media landscape in which newsrooms operate under constraints that challenge their financial sustainability. As we delve into the complex dynamics that shape the viability of public in
terest media in Europe, we aim to provide insights that not only describe the current state of the sector but also offer guidance for future initiatives aimed at fostering its resilience and growth. With that, we hope to contribute to a deeper understanding of independent public interest media‘s current challenges and potential pathways for sustainability." (Introduction, pages 5-6)
